Introduction

In most cases, the historical description of an issue begins with its origins. However, history can sometimes surprise us. For example, the transition of the Eastern European states from capitalism to communism and then back to capitalism has taken theorists by surprise. This aspect encourages tackling the school textbook issue by taking into account the evolution of the last 20 years and not the first textbooks of the modern Romanian state.
These past 20 years have been very dense, though, as the transformations that have occurred during this period have a high relevance for the contemporary Romanian school. We have chosen to present the issue of current textbooks by using two possible frameworks:

a. the historical perspective on the development of Romanian textbooks after 1989;
b. the option for pluralist models in Romanian textbooks after 1989 (examples from history and economy textbooks).
